Well it is getting close to back to school time!
We are hoping to have our wonderful community listeners coming back to TIES this school year. We would also like to invite any other community members that are interested in coming to listen to our TIES students read. If you are away for part of the year or have appointments on the day that you listen, that is just fine. We know that you all have busy lives and we really appreciate all your help. The listening time would be from 12:35 to 1:05 daily. You just pick a day that suits you. If you are interested in being a volunteer listener at the school, please contact me by email at gredman@sd79.bc.ca
Last year we asked for fruit so that we could process it by canning or dehydrating it. We raised over $400.00 and half of these funds were donated to a local charity. The remainder of the funds will be used for the students to decide on something special for the classroom. We would like to do the same thing again this year. Last year we had a lot of fruit donated from the community. So, we would appreciate donations of apples, pears, plums, and quince again. If you need the fruit picked, please let me know and I am sure we can arrange something. You can call me at 250-210-3087. We would also love to have any canning jars and lids that you have that you no longer need. If you have jars or lids that you would like to donate to our school, you can drop them off at my house. The address is 59 Pilkey Point Road. (just leave them on the porch if we are not home) or you can drop them off at the school on Friday the 30thof August before noon.
Thank you to the Thetis Island Community for all your support of our school and our students.
